TAKEOFF dead at 28, shot in Houston
American rapper, Takeoff, a member of the hip-hop group Migos, was reported to have been shot dead in Houston over a dice game.
According to witnesses and law enforcement sources, the deadly incident occurred soon after 2:30 AM. At that time, police received a call that a man had been shot at the bowling alley known as 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston.
It was said that Takeoff and Quavo were there playing dice when a fight erupted, and that is when someone opened fire, shooting Takeoff… either in the head or near his head. On the spot, he was determined to be dead.

In a footage obtained by TMZ from the scene, Quavo can be seen in an orange shirt — and others gathered around Takeoff. At first, they tried to move him, but then put him back down, and Quavo yelled for someone to get help.
TMZ reported that Police states that 2 other people were shot and were taken to the hospital in private vehicles. It’s unclear what their conditions are. Quavo was not injured.
Just a couple of hours before the shooting, Takeoff posted a selfie from the bowling alley. Quavo had posted a video earlier in the night, driving around Houston with Jas Prince, who was celebrating his birthday.
Born Kirshnik Khari Ball, Takeoff was as a member of the hip hop trio Migos along with his uncle Quavo and first cousin once removed Offset.
